My husband, Ken, and I farm about 1,200 acres of irrigated and dryland corn and soybeans near Shickley, Nebraska. This keeps us busy from early spring to late fall, but also gives us time to spend with our family and nine grandchildren. Through most of the year I am the support staff, helping in any way I can. At harvest time I run the combine.
I put this recipe in our family cookbook – definitely one of our favorites!
